Last minute booking after a flight cancellation. Libby the front desk went above and beyond taking us to a restaurant on her way home. Beautiful lobby and fully stocked Honor Bar(no bartenders just mark down what you drink and they add it to the bill). We had their smallest room. Queen which was comfortable. Tiny bathroom and shower. Tough to regulate the water temp. Show handle detaches so you can have the water flow at you. For a night it was fine. Wouldn’t want two people to try and do a week there. Pool was warm and clean.

This was the perfect location for our plans on the island. The room was clean, bed was comfortable and loved the views from the balcony. We had fresh made breakfast every morning and we’re pleasantly greeted by the resident cat, Shadow, and of course Geraldo too. They were more than accommodating and asked daily if there was anything we needed.

Everyone was so nice and I loved the breakfast they made! It was perfect. And they have a sweet hotel kitty who hangs out. The hot water takes a second but it’s an older building. The property is beautiful though. Didn’t have time to relax in the pool but it looked nice to float in or sit in. Again, everyone was so nice.

When I say, IVGH did not disappoint.We were greeted with cool lavender towels for our face and hands, as well as local island fruit juice. The night receptionist and bell man were so helpful. The complementary continental morning breakfast had the nicest lite island vibe. I was a little disappointed I could not order dinner from the restaurant. Let me be clear, it's not anything they did, it just isn't open Sunday and Monday and we checked in Saturday night. The restaurant gets some amazing reviews and I wanted to try it. Other than that, only 5 stars here!!! The room was clean and cool, the customer service was second to none, the views of Saint Thomas were spectacular and the beds and bedding were sooooo comfortable. You must stay if you are planning a trip to St. Thomas. Please go on a night when the restaurant is open. You won't be disappointed.

The views, cleanliness of the rooms, and proximity to airport and city center (taxis are expensive on this island) make this a good choice. The upkeep of the premises is top notch. Note that the location is on an incredibly steep hill making it difficult to enter and leave the premises which also impacts taxi pickups/drop offs as well as parking is difficult. Not a complaint but something to note if you are elderly and/or limited mobility for any reason.
